The real model is a logistic curve with an exponential growth phase
Wikipedia
Logistic function
A logistic function or logistic curve is a common S-shaped curve (sigmoid curve) with equation

Think of it as exponential growth that starts running out of resources. In this pandemic's case, it's people to infect.
